While India grapples with delays in the procurement of Predator drones from the US, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) achieves a significant milestone with the successful test of SWiFT, a prototype for the upcoming Ghatak stealth combat drone. The test, conducted in Chitradurga, Karnataka, positions India as a contender in the development of indigenous high-speed and stealthy unmanned combat aerial vehicles. The SWiFT, featuring tailless configuration and advanced stealth technology, showcases India's commitment to self-reliance in defense capabilities, providing a strategic alternative amidst diplomatic challenges affecting international procurement agreements.
